Conservatory
Offers Degree
New Course to Supplant that of Lit¬ erary-Music Combination of Lib¬ eral Arts and Music
Beginning with the class of 1928, Millikin will offer a new course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Music which will supplant the present Lit¬ erary Music course. This was deter¬ mined ->.t a faculty meeting held two weeks ago. The new arrangemcni provides the first satisfactory combi¬ nation of Liberal Arts and music courses which the university has had, and has come as a response to a stead¬ ily growing demand for a curriculum which should provide ample oppor¬ tunity for music study and would at the same time include regular Liberal Arts subjects in sufficient numbers to be of genuine value to the student. The teacher or performer who "doesn't know anything but music," is rapidly losing ground in the race with the more broadly educated of his competi¬ tors, and the knowledge of this fact is leading present day music students to seek a college which offers an op¬ portunity such as Millikin will present to the next year's freshmen.
Liberal Arts Requirements
Entrance requirements coincide with those of the college of Liberal Arts, with the addition for those students who expect to major in voice, violin, piano, or organ, of the completion of, approximately, Grade III, as it has heretofore been known, of the applied work in the subject elected for the ma¬ jor. The required Liberal Arts sub¬ jects include English 1, 2, 3 and 4; 6 points in History, 3 in Government; General Psychology, 3; Foreign Lan¬ guages, 16; Physics (special course in acoustics), 1; Public Speaking, 2; Physical Training, 2; Electives, 11; making a total of 56 points. In music 66 points must be taken, 32 in applied music, or the major, and 34 in theo¬ retical subjects. The major may be an applied subject, piano, voice, violin or organ, or it may be Musical Theory or Public School Music or Kindergar¬ ten Methods.
Will Lead to Degree
The course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Music will retiuire four years for completion, and the students will be ranked as freshman, sophomore junior and senior, instead of first, sec¬ ond and third year students, as nas previously been the custom, and sub¬ jects will be graded in the same way.

TWO LECTURES
DELIVERED BY
NETTLETON
Second Number of Lecture Course
Featured by Head of English
Department
Dr. George H. Nettleton, head of the English department at Yale Uni¬ versity, delivered two lectures in the second number of the Millikin exten¬ sion course yesterday. The first was given in the afternoon at 4:30, and the subject was "The Comedy of Man¬ ners," the society drama of the eigh¬ teenth century. In the evening his subject was "The Educational Conse¬ quences of the War."
Dr. Nettleton, Professor of English at Yale, is a widely known authority in hterature and history. He is the author of several books, among them, "English Drama of the Restoration," "Speciments of the Short Story," "Old Testament Narratives," and "Drama and the Stage."
In 1919 Dr. Nettleton served as di¬ rector of the American University Union in Paris, and lectured in the Sorbonne. He is a member of a num¬ ber of honorary French societies, and Honorary Professor d'Ecole Inter Allies des Hautes Etudes Sociales. During the war he served overseas, and therefore he is particularly well fitted for an intimate knowledge of his evening lecture.
At the British and American Pro¬ fessors of English Conference held at Columbia University last June, Dr, Nettleton was Yale's representative on the program and delivered a series of addresses. Dr. Grace Patton Conant was present at the meeting and was instrumental in securing Dr. Nettleton for this number of the lecture course.
